- After a year of working from home, the American workforce is starting to make it work. In fact, remote work is really on its way to becoming part of the norm.

Number one. The basics, connectivity, communication, lastly, culture. As you strive to embrace the new normal, emphasize the benefits, capabilities, and efficiencies that came along with it. 

Second, have trust. Trust unleashes people to do their very best work. Why? Because they want to. So in leading people, you need to keep up morale, but you need to trust in a way that allows people to put forth their best efforts.

Thirdly, build strategies for day-to-day success. Make sure that you are setting specific tasks and deadlines. Don't be vague. Keep it specific, keep it focused on where the end game is, and make sure that they're attainable each day and can be met.

Finally, allow for self-management. Though they're adapting very quickly, younger workers today, in particular, are struggling with this fully work from home schedule. So one of the critical skills that we can help develop is self-management.
